Stackdriver Error Reporting is integrated with some products, such as
App Engine. Stackdriver Error Reporting displays the errors that are
logged to Stackdriver Logging by applications running on those products. See
Running on Google Cloud Platform for more
information.

Compute Engine

When using Google Compute Engine VM instances, add the cloud-platform
access scope to each instance. When creating a new instance through the
Google Cloud Platform Console, you can do this in the Identity and API access section
of the Create Instance panel. Use the Compute Engine default service account
or another service account of your choice, and select Allow full access to all
Cloud APIs in the Identity and API access section. Whichever service
account you select, ensure that it has been granted the
Error Reporting Writer role in the IAM & admin section of the
GCP Console.

Running locally and elsewhere

To use the Stackdriver Error Reporting library for Python outside of Google Cloud Platform, you must
supply your GCP project ID and appropriate service account credentials directly
to the Stackdriver Error Reporting library for Python. This applies to running the agent on your own
workstation, on your data center's computers, or on the VM instances of another
cloud provider. For more information see
Obtaining and providing service account credentials manually.

Viewing error reports

After deployment, you can view error reports in the GCP Console
Error Reporting dashboard.
